New England Aquarium Whale Watch Cruise

The destination of this whale-watching cruise is Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, a rich feeding ground for whales, dolphins, sea birds, and other marine creatures. Stellwagen is home to many species of large whales, including humpbacks, finbacks and minkes, and the critically endangered right whales. New England Aquarium naturalists will share knowledge, answer your questions, and explain the fascinating behaviors of these truly magnificent mammals.
The custom whale watch catamarans are among the largest and most comfortable in the country. They're also incredibly stable and feature outside viewing decks as well as a climate-controlled interior cabin with cushy seats and a snack bar. Don't just get to the whales—get to them in style and comfort. Sightings are guaranteed!
The adventure begins at Long Wharf, just steps from the New England Aquarium, the North End, Faneuil Hall, and other popular Boston landmarks. It is encouraged for you to wear casual, comfortable clothing, comfortable shoes, and a warm sweatshirt or light jacket. Even on warm sunny days, it can be cool offshore!
Duration: 3.5 - 4 hours
